mine as well... with the consultants being abattis, right. and abattis making application.
"...will make application to WSLCB (Washington State Liquor Control Board) for an analytics laboratory testing license. Phytalytics will provide government mandated testing of cannabis and all other cannabis related derivatives under State Initiative 502 ("SI502")."
it looks like the principals of phytalabs wrote the book on the wslcb's criteria/guidebook which was used to approve just one lab so far as the state's testers. while there are lots of labs testing mmj, phytalabs is prolly following criteria/guidebook to a t. I have no idea how many labs will ultimately be granted a testing lic., don't anyone does at this point. but this sounds huge. as I mentioned to you earlier, one test company starts testing at $60ish and when dispensaries test their meds, they usually have a higher level of testing done which may be doule that price.
"The WSLCB has released the accreditation criteria that third party testing labs must meet in order to be certified to test useable marijuana and marijuana products" under the 1-502 regulatory system. The WSLCB has contracted with the Center for Laboratory Sciences on the Campus of the Columbia Basin College to conduct the certification process."
"Dr. Michelle Sexton, Founder and CEO of Phytalabs, was instrumental in developing the checklist and protocols for the Certification Process for an analytics lab for the Washington State Liquor Control Board, which approves State Licensing of adult and medicinal marijuana. Dr. Sexton was the editor and technical advisor on the Monograph of American Herbal Pharmacopoeia. Dr. Sexton is also a board member of the Americans for Safe Access Foundation."
Dr. Sexton stated, "The opportunity to partner with the Abattis Team is a highlight of my career. I have been passionate about furthering the historic mission of setting the standard for quality control of Cannabis and related products which began in Washington State."
